Bottom screws

Note: if the laptop you are working on is a very slightly different model it is possible that it will have a different number of screws in slightly different positions. The important thing is to note where the shorter screws come from so as to avoid inserting a longer screw in its place on reassembly.
Remove a 5mm screw to the left of the RAM sockets, then pull out the CD/DVD drive. (Not necessary if you are only replacing the keyboard.)
Remove a 5mm screw to the right and the rear of the RAM sockets.
If you are going to remove the hard disk, motherboard or fan, remove 4 3mm screws.
Remove 7 5mm screws. (There are 6 more at the rear which should be left.)
